About this property
Stunning Woodsy Retreat w/ Hot Tub + Firepit Near Vineyards/Orchards/Downtown
Peaceful days are right around the corner at this stunning vacation rental. Situated on nearly two acres of the Ellijay wilderness, this elegant, rustic 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is the ultimate private getaway. Perfect for girls weekends, bachelorettes, couples or family getaways!
Start your morning with a cup of coffee while enjoying the lush greenery and tranquil scenery from the comfort of the front porch on the Adirondack rockers. Next, spend the afternoon in the great outdoors tubing, fishing, hiking, mountain biking or boating in the nearby lakes. Unwind the day at the shops and restaurants in downtown Ellijay, just 7 miles away or perhaps enjoy a glass of wine and take a winery tour at the numerous vineyards just a few short miles away. As you arrive home, enjoy game night with the rustic air hockey table, wall-mount Connect 4 and board games or cozy up at the outdoor fire pit or build your own fire to enjoy indoors in your wood-burning fireplace. Wood provided seasonally!
In the fall, you are in for a real treat! Situated in the heart of the "Apple Capital of Georgia", enjoy apple picking at one of the numerous apple orchards just minutes away while enjoying the beautiful changing leaves surrounding you.
Experience the sprawling beauty and serene setting of this gorgeous oasis. Escape to Ivy's Woodland Retreat today!
